My thoughts – start 8 bells from Edgie Maccas – 1st beer Lithgow 16 bells – see below, about 480k’s in total – 50% dirt – 50% tar
Any longer than 4pm could result in this
Squiggle & OFBM – hopefully the files work for you
Cant get GPX files to upload – HELP!!!
Linz

Called skyrider today, he is keen and pretty easy about how he gets there, Wookie is out and just waiting to hear back from Brownie. Since the bridle is out I am easy. Just add the GPX to a zip file and maybe it will upload a bit easier.
Had a look at the map today and looked at maybe heading out through howes valley as per OFMB and Kalgoola then into capetree from Glen Davies. From here you could do the morning run from the lithgow nav ride in reverse, heading up the hill from blackfellas hand. Probably about 250 ks from howes valley.

Ive not been through here but just putting it out there in case you blokes have. You could tar it from broke and enjoy the frantic bends of the putty for a bit of early morning racing
before hitting the dirt.Or we can just follow you blokes, its not just a rumour, Im easy
Thats almost the hill end ride we were going to do :cheer: so its all good. Blackhands instead of bridle sound like a good swap to me. Depending on fuel you could even cut out the tar section from capetree.
Its about 420 ks.
Have you been out through three ways across the guts plindz? Kat sold me on that route on the St Albans over nighter a couple of weeks ago and it looks like it links up. If not it would probably make a good overnighter for another weekend, if your tent doesnt end up in the skip at woodstock you could even join in

Hey Squiggle :whistle:
Looks to me like you have plotted the track across Wollemi National Park/Mt Coricudgy that I was talking about at the lookout last week ???
It has been closed for close to 20 yrs mate ,,,Only way around the top is the track Linz has plotted on the tar (Bylong Valley) and round to Kandos.
Or the Bells Line south route now that Mt Irvine has gone too :S
Limited options unfortunately …
If I was going, I would take Al`s option and grey gums café for a stop.
Sorry mate :laugh:

What Kat was talking about is up the Commision Rd and hang the right and overnighter at Sheepskin Hut, then continue the loop back around on Day 2.
The gate is locked to go across mate…. Has been for 20 yrs thanx to National Parks finding a Wolemi Pin tree allegedly :whistle:I got to do it in 4×4`s a few times prior to it`s closure and it was AWSOME country.
I haven’t looked too hard at your maps but you can get to bylong valley from the commission track
Thats how I rode to Luee for an OB party once
Have a great time
Cheers
Eags is right the road to kandos through wollemi is gated in a really good spot no way around it , I have had a good look a couple of times
